Injured fullback Kurtley Beale didn’t train with the Wallabies on Wednesday but his captain is confident that he will be ready for Sunday’s semi-final at Eden Park.

Beale aggravated a hamstring injury in last week’s game against South Africa. He has been unable to train thus far this week, but James Horwill is confident that he will be ready by the weekend. The same applies to prop Sekope Kepu, who is currently battling an ankle sprain.

Centre Pat McCabe, who sustained a shoulder injury in the quarter-final, has returned to training.
